Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think so.
And the pedals could be a little more horizontal

I got TCR C3 Ultegra and 105 mix with Ksyrium Elite for 1500. and I AM IN LOVE!

The garage door paint looks fresh enough, but the concrete driveway could use some patching. Also, that weatherstrip on the bottom of the door is a little uneven.

Maximum allowable spacing (Easton SL/SLX): 50 mm
I understand stacking is a part of the OCP ting.

i have no idea about your flexiblity, and your objectives. But most people, at least people who are trying to go fast, ride with at least a little drop from seat to handlebar. Have you tried moving a couple of spacers above the stem?

If the way you have it set is a conscious decision, andit works for you fine; if its just the way the bike happened to come, you might paly with the spacers.

I thought the tire inflation info was supposed to be over the valve stems.
